What is Startup Weekend?

Startup Weekend is a global network of passionate leaders and entrepreneurs on a mission to inspire, educate, and empower individuals, teams and communities. Come share ideas, form teams, and launch startups.

On Friday, May 4th at Packard Place in Charlotte, NC, JC Haswell delivered his Charlotte Startup Weekend pitch called Ghost Racer an audio only driving game. Watch his entire pitch: [youtube]http://youtu.be/qXd2nZ2PS7A[/youtube]

At the end of the voting period, JC walked away with the coveted first stage award, the 3M sheet with the name of his startup. Now begins the fun part, convincing other attendees to work on his startup.

Within an hour, JC and his team members, Matt Senn, Mike Delong, Justin Alexander, Daniel Lawrence, come together to form team Ghost Racer. They jump right in and start the process of turning his business idea into reality while changing the name to Dog Dash Game. They can be found on Twitter.
